McCain Aide Scheunemann Linked To Bush Library ‘Cash For Access’ Scandal
McCain Aide Scheunemann Linked To Bush Library ‘Cash For Access’ Scandal
Earlier this month, the Sunday Times caught longtime Bush associate Stephen Payne on tape offering access to top Bush administration officials in exchange for “six-figure donations to the private library being set up to commemorate Bush’s presidency.” Payne, who is now being investigated by the Homeland Security Department and the House Oversight Committee, made the offer to Kazakh politician Yerzhan Dosmukhamedov, who is also known as Eric Dos.
The Times reported that Dos had previously worked with Payne to arrange a 2006 visit by Vice President Dick Cheney to Kazakhstan. Dos claims that in exchange for arranging Cheney’s trip, “a payment of $2m was passed, via a Kazakh oil and gas company, to Payne’s firm.” Payne denies that any such arrangement existed.
But the Times reports today that Payne may be lying about his business dealings and that the money may have been funneled through a sister company to Payne’s lobbying firm:
The Sunday Times, however, has discovered the existence of a channel through which funds from the Kazakh government could have been readily transferred.
A sister company to WSP, Worldwide Strategic Energy (WSE), of which Payne is also president, has a subsidiary, Caspian Alliance, which is the sole US representative for KMG.
The Times reports that a top adviser to Sen. John McCain, lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, has direct ties to the company that is alleged to have funneled the funds:
In a further link, Randy Scheunemann, chief foreign policy and national security adviser to John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, was listed in the WSE brochure as part of its executive team. Scheunemann and Associates, his lobbying firm, is reported as having represented the Caspian Alliance in 2005.
At the undercover meeting last week, Payne said Scheunemann had been “working with me on my payroll for five of the last eight years”. When confronted over the link to KMG, Payne declined to comment.
During his trip to Kazakhstan, Cheney ignored the country’s bad record on human rights and declared his “admiration for what has transpired here in Kazakhstan over the past 15 years.” Earlier this month, Payne told an undercover Times report that Cheney was more interested in what Kazakhstan “could do on energy” than “making them toe the line on human rights.”

Any surprise..? !!
It is well known fact that McBush is McSame.
Of course the defeneders in McSame camp are disputing this fact by saying, “No it is not McCain but Obama who is like Bush” .
July 20th, 2008 at 8:20 amlaughable !!
Oh, oh, Another one of the ‘big boys’ got caught. Not good for the image, not good for the legacy.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:35 amNothing will happen and noone will be held accountable. Bribery used to be a felony but now it’s a scandal only if it’s a Democrat doing it. Legalised bribery is why we no longer have a representative government, poor and middle class Americans, 90% of the population, can’t afford the bribes so we get no representation, it’s really that simple.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:36 amWe can write letters and make phone calls but unless it is accompanied by a check or better yet cash don’t waste your time. Money is all they want and if you don’t give it to them they dobn’t care about, me or any other non-paying citizen.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:39 amJust alike, more of the same, this is what we can expect coming from this crowd, and absolutely nothing will be done about it, no accountability whatsoever……………..
July 20th, 2008 at 8:44 amNow there’s a big surprise…grampy mclame floating around shady deals like a turd.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:47 amThe Kazakh’s are very traditional. We give you bribe(voluta), you give us what we want.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:59 amIn the U.S. it’s a little different……ummm actually, it’s not.
“Purchasing access” is a sugar coated way of saying bribe.
Saw this on Huff post:
“Democrats on the judiciary panel were outraged when they heard about Rove’s overseas jaunt on the day he’d been ordered to testify. “That’s just extremely contemptuous—it shows the disdain that he has for Congress…”
I’ll bet an angry letter is going out, the Democratic “leaders” are corrupt pieces of excrement for letting this and so much more go on!
July 20th, 2008 at 9:05 am#8…
rocks911,
Rove will drag this for few more months, knwoing that Bush will pardon him,in case of indictment of anything.
It is legal…
So, what the Congress can do?.
Nothing….!!

July 20th, 2008 at 9:21 amWatching Fox, and they were just crying about how little McCain media coverage there was.
Careful what you hope for, guys.
More McCain coverage will be extremely damaging, as the contradictory proposals, and deeply embedded lobbyists become more visible.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:54 ambarfly, those morons on FoxSnooze Sunday were tap-dancing like mad this morning! Parsing “time horizon”, criticizing Obama’s trip, whining about the relative coverage of Obama versus McNumbNuts.
I think they are beginning to sense that momentum is no longer on their side. That long limb that GDumbya and McNumbNuts have been clinging to is being cut off behind them. As Dylan would say, “The times they are a’changing”.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:19 amAccording to Lexis-Nexis, Payne has an ownership role in a bunch of similarly named companies liste below, all registered to the same address in Texas (which apperars to be conservative lawyer Brian Ettinger’s firm address):
• Advanced Clean Air Technologies LLC
• Baltic American Energy Inc
• Baltic American Alliance LLC
• Caspian Alliance Inc
• CIMA Ranch Development LLC
• Strategic Political Partners Inc
• Universal Strategic Partners Inc
• Worldwide Capital Partners LLC
• Worldwide Capital Partners II LLC
• Worldwide Strategic Energy Inc
Additionally, Payne seems to have a role in Virginia-based “MSH Ventures” which looks shady – and has connections with Frank Carlucci and the Carlyle Group.

The Bayh/Leiberman interview was ok. Bayh did well in countering Joe’s “Surge Success” rhetoric, and Leiberman’s “Obama is for surrender” line of attack doesn’t carry the same emotional punch it once did. But Britt Hume is a journalistic three-card-monty player, with his shifting rationales, and false conclusions.

Seriously, though, I do hope that Smokin’ Joe takes the invitation to speak at the Republican convention. He has almost joined Zell Miller in political oblivion — this will push him over the top. Then, he will be perfectly qualified to join FoxSnooze as a “contributor” and sit right next to Little Billy Kristol.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:56 amWatching Meet the Press, and Brokaw’s speech is bad. I don’t think he’ll be doing this much longer, if his voice gets any worse.

Once again, “follow the money” is the best antidote to Republicans. Wonder how much of Payne’s $2 million can be traced into a Cheney account? And now CitiDC is saying that Payne’s connected the the Carlyle Group? This just gets better and better. I’ve heard Poppy Bush has been involved with some very, very sketchy things — old CIA buddies, import/export, etc., etc.

Hitherto, the connection haas been tacit; henceforth it will be policy.

July 20th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Zooey has a point. If there are any skeletons in David Axelrod’s closet, you know we will hear about it because Axelrod is likely to be the next Chief of Staff to the US President. All the top people in the campaign get important jobs in the candidate’s administration should he win. So we should both expect and encourage scrutiny of the top people in Obama’s campaign.
By the same argument, we should also delve deeply onto the lives of McCain’s top advisors. Had there not been this exposure of Phil Gramm’s horrific economic policies and personal investment portfolio (”Truck Stop Women”), it is entirely reasonable to assume that McCain would have given Gramm a top economic post in his fantasy-administration (”fantasy” because there won’t be one). Likewise, one has to wonder what job Charlie Black would get. All of these people, who we are now learning are not as squeaky clean as McCain would have us believe, may well be in line for key jobs. And if they’re corrupt as hell (as many near the top have turned out to be), then we need to know right now.

McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five of years ago has NEVER been brought up as part of what the public needs to know as they “vet” their candidate for president.
McCain has associated himself with characters of dubious integrity and lobbyists are established throughout his campaign – tell me when this information gets on tht 6 o’clock news or when it gets to the major newspapers around the nation.
Kazakhstan!? KAZAKHSTAN!?
WOH WOH WEE WOW!!! IS GOOD! I LIKE!
Are you kidding me? Could this be any more stinking hilarious?

This has got to be a Steven Colbert/Sacha Baron Cohen set up!
KAZAKHSTAN?!
Just what ‘make benefit of glorious nation’ do they possibly hope to obtain by donating to the library of the worst President ever? It must be help with gaining access to Pamela Anderson. THAT’S IT!
If this isn’t a joke it ought to be. If only the administration of GW Bogus & the Lie Factory were this funny…
July 20th, 2008 at 1:57 pmKAZAKHSTAN?! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!
Cheney ignored the country’s bad record on human rights
I disagree. Cheney didn’t ignore Kazakhstan’s poor record on human rights.
He was, in fact, praising the Kazakh way of dealing with the political opposition, an unruly press, and opening the door for a life-long rule by Nazarbaev.
Birds of a feather, as the saying goes.

I agree about all the corrupt people in McCain’s campaign. Especially the lobbyists who were supposed to be “purged”, not “surged”. But about Phil Gramm.
I thought that the statement about “whiners” was out there for several days, no more nor less than most other “revelations” about McCain’s people (things already known to a lot of them), and that he was going to weather that one. For me, it was the reports that Gramm had been an executive producer on a soft-core porn movie called “Truck Stop Women” that finally forced his formal resignation.
Remember, in addition to being Phil “Deregulation” Gramm, he can also be known as Phil “Truck Stop Women” Gramm. That’s how I’ll always remember him.
But, back on topic, you are absolutely right again about:
McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five of years ago has NEVER been brought up as part of what the public needs to know as they “vet” their candidate for president.

Olbermann (and Rachel, when she fills in) reminds viewers about McCain’s involvement in that scandal, only they focus less on McCain’s claims of having learned something from the experience, and more on McCain’s current actions that suggest otherwise.

GOOD LUCK BARACK SUPPORTERS! YES YOU CAN!
July 20th, 2008 at 3:08 pmAfter Don Siegelman’s prosecution, this is just another example of GOP hypocrisy. Siegelman solicited donations for a program that would benefit the state while the Bush camp solicited donations that would benefit Bush personally through his library. Although the Siegelman incident involved a position of authority on a state hospital regulatory board, access to key federal officials involved in national security is a much more significant exchange. What makes the Bush camp far more culpable is that the Bush camp sought to benefit themselves and not the public in their actions. IMPEACH!
July 20th, 2008 at 3:15 pmRuling Gives South Dakota Doctors a Script to Read
Women Seeking Abortion Must Be Told About ‘Unique Living Human Being’
By Peter Slevin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, July 20, 2008; Page A03
CHICAGO — In a victory for antiabortion forces, doctors in South Dakota are now required to tell a woman seeking an abortion that the procedure “will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit last week lifted a preliminary injunction that prevented the language from taking effect. A spokesman for Planned Parenthood, which runs the state’s only abortion clinic, said doctors will begin reciting the script to patients as early as this week.
A law that took effect July 1 requires doctors to ask a woman seeking an abortion if she wants to see a sonogram of the fetus. About 700 abortions are performed in South Dakota each year.
The doctors’ script that officially took effect Friday has been tied up in court since 2005, when Planned Parenthood challenged a law that instructed physicians what to tell abortion patients. Under the law, doctors must say that the woman has “an existing relationship” with the fetus that is protected by the U.S. Constitution and that “her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated.” Also, the doctor is required to say that “abortion increases the risk of suicide ideation and suicide.”
The message must be delivered no earlier than two hours before the procedure. The woman must say in writing that she understands.

The Real Reason For McCain’s Friday Night Phil Gramm Dump
Stephen D reports on a Phil Gramm Friday night dump attributing Gramm’s resignation from the McSame campaign to the “Americans are whiners!” comment. I think that is just cover for the more likely real reason:
Remember that Phil Gram works for and lobbies for one arm of UBS in the USA. More below… And an interesting side note from similar article ABC story posted earlier before you get there:
A former UBS private banker, Bradley Birkenfeld, has agreed to a plea deal and is reported to be cooperating with US authorities in bring charges against American citizens on tax evasion charges.
As soon as I read that article linked out by jimstaro at ePM I figured there might be a link.
UBS is still Phil Gramm’s gig, isn’t it? So sayeth his Wiki:
“Gramm is a vice-chairman of UBS Investment Bank.”
And we all know about McCain’s lobbying troubles because of Gramm:
U.S. Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign faces questions regarding a top economic adviser’s work for Swiss banking giant UBS Warburg.
[...]
and it gets better… or worse…
holy crap.

Obama Fund-Raiser Excludes a Senator-Turned-Lobbyist
By MICHAEL FALCONE
Published: July 19, 2008
Senator Barack Obama’s official policy banning lobbyists from raising money for his presidential bid put the campaign in an awkward position last week when it was forced to exclude a former United States senator and decorated war veteran from a fund-raiser because he is a registered lobbyist.
The former senator, Max Cleland, Democrat of Georgia, originally received an invitation to a fund-raiser on July 7 in Atlanta, but was later told not to come. Mr. Obama was scheduled to appear at the event.
A friend of Mr. Cleland extended the invitation, but after the Obama campaign checked the guest list against a database of lobbyists, the campaign contacted Mr. Cleland’s friend, who told him that he should not attend. Mr. Cleland lobbies for a health care firm. The disinvitation was first reported by Politico.

July 20th, 2008 at 4:36 pm“… $17.9 billion for 19,000 Americans who didn’t declare assets to the Internal Revenue Service…”
Please, let some of them be Villagers. It would be a savory stew, while they all made excuses for their piggy brethren.
Big question: can any of them be linked to McCain or Obama?
July 20th, 2008 at 4:41 pmOh!!!
What if some of them are linked to either campaign, with campaign contributions?
And what if they’re forced to return campaign contributions, because the IRS is prosecuting them?
This has the makings of a political Hiroshima, if either side is linked to these tax-dodgers.
July 20th, 2008 at 4:45 pmCan anyone think of a reason, other than blackmail, why none of these criminals are sitting in cells awaiting trial? For the life of me, I can’t think of a single other reason which fits the available facts.
The only question left, in my mind, is what percentage of the dirt was collected via “warrantless wiretaps” and what percentage was acquired by going through garbage and other old investigative tricks.

[...]
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations’ report claimed that UBS and the LGT Bank, located in Liechtenstein and owned by the principality’s royal family, helped many US citizens dodge taxes.
The committee, chaired by Michigan Democrat Carl Levin, said that through elaborate schemes at many banks in tax havens around the world, US citizens annually avoided up to $US100 billion ($103 billion) in tax payments. The report accused tax haven nations of engaging in “economic warfare against the United States and honest hard-working American taxpayers”.

Anytime you have Bush’s name attatched to anything or anyone you have corruption. If we haven’t seen that in spades, then we haven’t seen anything.
No one wants to house Bush’s library. And other then a portion of neocons that think he’s great, no one wants to contribute. This is the only way to fund the library of the worse President in American history. So they caught this guy? Good. If Bush pays enough money perhaps Southern Methodist University might change their minds and do it.
In this country everyone and everything is for sale, even the good name of a university. Why doesn’t Bush try Bob Jones University, or Oral Roberts University? They are his religious base.

July 21st, 2008 at 9:23 amIs there not one solitary person on the “Maverick” McCain campaign staff that IS NOT a lobbyist or in the case of ex advisor Gramm, a greed inspired sociopath?
I have yet to see one listed anywhere?
America cannot withstand even four more years of Republican rule.
It is past time to marginalize and shrink the Republican Party to the point that it can be drowned in a toilet, perhaps one at the Minneapolis airport.
July 22nd, 2008 at 12:50 amThis is another example that the “old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. Lida Sohbet sohbet sesli chat Gelinlik Modelleri
January 11th, 2009 at 11:12 amIf you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias? The military under orders not to speak out may never convey Karl Scharz’ expose’. Sesli Sohbet If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). Fx15 From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. Orjinal Lida It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. Sikis Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article. What Schwarz had to present in this article is an eye opener: kurtlar vadisi pusu izle

I want suits in Colorado, New Jersey, and any other state where illegal suppression campaigns are being conducted. And some real looks at the polling methodology would also be eye opening.

At the undercover meeting last week, Payne said Scheunemann had been “working with me on my payroll for five of the last eight years”. When confronted over the link to KMG, Payne declined to comment.
